Music , Podcasts or Silence?

Lost User

I usually listen to people yakking away, while wishing they would STFU.

Kacey Musgraves or the Libertines.

Gentle crying, myself and/or others...

Duncan Edwards Jones

Electrons toiling away in their silicon prison cells. Their tortured cries could break you heart... I find it so hard to remain positive with them around.

Silence, mostly. Or the screams of the damned. They are like music to me.

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

They really should learn to conduct themselves in a more professional manner.

I prefer silence, but alas! The correct answer is: My colleague yapping on the phone! :sigh:

Music. Generally rock or metal. Podcasts/etc are right out because what I need is background noise; an actual discussion about something would pull my mind off of my work.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Well - for a fixed genre, I'd say seriously blue blues. Stuff where you know the guitar just squeezes like clay to make those sounds. On the other hand, bits of Workingman's Dead and American Beauty can really make the world feel good, too. And - in my current environment, I can have speakers instead of earphones. That, alone is a major plus. On the other hand, I'm currently listening to "My Fair Lady".

Silence mostly as there seems to be an uncanny connection between listening to music and incoming phone calls. How do they know??? :confused: When I do listen to music though, it's always prog rock/metal...currently enjoying the latest album by Spock's Beard. :)

REM Monster here!

Mostly cheesy 80s rock and Electronic music of all kinds (techno, ambient, IDM, trance...) and some talk radio.

I'd rather be phishing!

I luckily work in a small office and am on my own most of the time, so I listen to mostly 70's, 80's rock, jazz, video game music. I do the odd .net rocks podcast from time to time.
